Your PayPal account doesn't to come with an actual bank account but can receive and hold money sent from other PayPal accounts.

 

If you sign up for a PayPal Cash debit card, you'll have access to the direct deposit feature.

Otherwise, you must link your bank account, credit, debit, or prepaid card to the PayPal account on the Wallet page to make payments with during checkout or withdraw PayPal balance funds to linked bank account, or add money to your PayPal balance with your linked bank account.

 

If you have a PayPal balance, it can also be used as a payment method besides your linked bank account, or card. PayPal balance may require credit card as back up.


Kudos & Solved are greatly appreciated. 🙂
